Origin of the Name

I have always desired to be thought of as a Virginia Gentleman. I can think of no greater label.

About Me

The Virginia Gentleman: I am one of those rare birds who grew up in Fairfax County. I went to George Mason University and majored in government and politics. I started my career in politics as a student volunteer with the Stan Parris for governor campaign in 1989. We didn’t win, but I fell in love with Virginia politics. As a student at GMU I became active in politics. I was Chairman of the College Republicans, Co-Chairman of Students for Allen, member of the Fairfax County Republican party, and served as a legislative intern for Delegate Dave Albo. After college I worked for Morton Blackwell at the Leadership Institute. At the Institute I helped train hundreds of conservative activists all across the country. I also produce a weekly radio feature called 'My Virginia Political Minute' which is carried on the Neo View.
